I saw a man without his shoes
On the corner drinking booze
He was screamin’ life ain’t fair
And he said his name was Pete
Asked him why he’s on the street?
He looked down with such despair
He told me “Back when I was 21, I had a wife, a job, a son
I remember when life was so sweet
But then I started gamblin’
I lost my house, my wife, my kid
Ever since can’t get back on my feet
So learn from my mistakes before it’s too late
Walking Hollywood and Vine
Saw a woman with a sign
Asked me could I spare some change?
She had tombstones in her eyes
As I caught her by surprise
Asked her why the long face?
And she said “Back when I was just 18
Had dreams of a silver screen
Left Detroit to be a movie star
And I had a taste of fame
That was until I met cocaine
Now I sleep on Sunset Boulevard
So learn from my mistakes before it’s too late
